We're On Our Way Thanks to All of You:

For the past five years, along with delivering quality care to the community, our organization has been focused on realizing its vision of "a regional medical center offering advanced medicine and a full continuum of healthcare services." Cost controls, increased efficiencies, quality score improvements, technology investments, and recruiting the best and brightest medical professionals, have all played a part in the pursuit of this vision. Now, all that hard work — by all of you — has taken us a giant step closer to making the vision a reality.

We are expanding the footprint and facilities of the Rideout campus to create a truly 21st century medical center, occupying six square blocks in historic Marysville. This medical center will be called Rideout Regional Medical Center:

The expansion will include the much-anticipated enhancements to the:

The Rideout Emergency Department

Phase I Completed May 2013:

The Phase I expansion added 5,000 square feet to the existing 12,000 sq. ft. and created 13 multi-use ED/Observation beds, two Rapid Care exam rooms and an additional triage room in the facility, which will now have 32 total beds. The much-anticipated expansion will allow the ED to serve the needs of a growing community. Last year, the Rideout Emergency Department handled nearly 55,000 patient visits, in the space originally designed for only half that volume. Phase I will open upon State approval in 2015.

Phase II Fall, 2015:

The second and final phase of the Emergency Department expansion will be operational in fall 2015 with the opening of the new Rideout hospital building; this will add another 3,000 sq. ft. and five additional beds. It also will be served by the new building's rooftop helipad for Life Flight operations. Rideout's Emergency Department is a Level III Trauma Center, and the only STEMI-receiving center serving Yuba, Sutter and parts of Nevada, Butte and Colusa Counties, equipped and staffed to handle the most serious cases of heart attacks.

The Rideout Cancer Center, accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer as a Community Cancer Program, provides cancer patients with the most up-to-date and effective cancer care in the Yuba-Sutter community. Opened in 1990 as a partnership with UC Davis, it is the flagship of UCD's growing Cancer Care Network. The Rideout Cancer Center integrates care management, Radiation Oncology, PET/CT Services, Medical Oncology (Chemotherapy), Hematology and Clinical Trials, with a team of highly-trained board certified physicians; oncology-certified nurses and certified radiation therapists.

It's an exciting time for all of us at Rideout as, amid myriad challenges, we move ahead together to build, literally and figuratively, a healthcare organization that brings the best in medical services and facilities to the Yuba-Sutter region. As always, I thank you for the important part you play in making our vision a reality.
